Anime Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 April Fools! TheDailyNeopets is NOT becoming TheDailyPinata, Ian has not formed an alliance with the pinatas, and the main site has been restored to it's normal state. If you like the pinata theme it is still available for use via your myTDN account. In addition, there were no permissions errors earlier today. The Staff Chat that was made visible was a fake, the product of several months of work. Some of it is real, and some of it is (most likely) fake. It is still visible in the archives if you wish to determine what the false information was.
Tedhaun Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I got a kick out of the Piñata gag yesterday. I still feel like saying "I am a Magical Piñata" for the rest of the weekend! You got us pretty good with the fake staff chat and letting regular members post! :laughingsmiley: Best April Fools Day gag ever! (:
degenius Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 :laughingsmiley: This was pretty awesome, I must admit! I thought I didn't fall for any of it but I fell for the staff chat XD
Alice ☮ Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 The staff chat was fake? o.o But I didn't even read anything from the staff chat because it felt dishonest xD So I can read through it now guilt free?
phyxius_on Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 The staff chat was fake? o.o But I didn't even read anything from the staff chat because it felt dishonest xD So I can read through it now guilt free? hehehhe I was the same as you. Good one TDN, although the pinata thing was getting a little irritating lol.
Xepha Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I really enjoyed the Pinata joke :P We thought we would get more reactions from having the staff chat visible, but I guess our visitors are quiet stalkers and didn't want to raise it to our attention XD.
jumpingbeans Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 .....I was going around yesterday, wondering why people kept saying Pinatas. I honestly didn't see the joke. :(
Noog Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 There was a filter to where if you tried to say neopets it would replace it with piñata :P
Ruto Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Very nice job on the fake staff chat, guys. :D I can tell Theo had a really fun time with it.
nerd4lifee Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 The whole pinata thing I was kind of just like "whaaaaaaaaaaat ... okay :P" and the staff chat! that was a really good one lol nice job :)
Shane for Wax Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 I wish I had been able to be a pinata for the day. :( Shane the Pinata. :P
antiaircraft Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 In case anybody's curious, the idea for the piñata joke was laid out here. ;)
Pirate Dante Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 *inserts overused Yo Dawg meme here" Yeah, we put an April Fools into our April Fools so you would be fooled while you were fooled even when you thought you weren't fooled.
Shadaw the Rampage Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 I am a magical pinata... that was a total waffle XD {high fives all of tdn}
